[This catalog of an alleged seminal exhibition for the Tate Gallery in London and the Musem Ludwig in eau-de-cologne is the testimony of an outrageous flop of a present to view for such prestigious institutions. It is conceived around a biased and narrow Anglo-Saxon approach to photography in the twentieth hundred The exhibition and catalog lack view and insight fringing sometimes forward ignorance (in the context of their defined goals, creators, and potential audiences); the quality of reproduction is acceptable for color nevertheless becomes just adequate for black and white.]
